Thursday, February 27 2014 - Treasure Cay

We are a little behind on the blog - partly due to difficult (or expensive) internet access and partly as we have guests and are busy "out and about" as the Canadians say.  We have met many Canadians - they seem to have figured it out - most are here for months - typically November/December to May.  Some come all the way down on their boats every year, others leave them in a boat yard through the summer months either here or on Florida coast.

The crew went to Junkanoo on Sunday and its sounds like it was quite a party!

For this week, we have a villa at Treasure Cay.  The villa is owned by one of Patrick's friends and is right on a canal with 3 docks - So the villa is providing 2 bedrooms and we are using the boat at the dock.  We sailed over here on Sunday after I got back into Marsh Harbour.  Next to us we have a Canadian crew - Capt. Bob, on Ma Cheri (trawler).

So the update for the week goes something like this:

Monday - we rented a golf cart, did a little island exploring and some provisioning.  We were in desperate need of a critical boat ingredient - Capt. Salty's Anti-grounding Rum.  We found the beach here to be amazing - yes, these are real photos!

 On Tuesday, the crew headed to Great Guana Cay - this is the spot to see the world's third largest barrier reef and a well-known bar, Nippers.  Salty had a blast on the beach, as once again, the place is near deserted.  We can't believe how quiet things are and folks that have been coming here for years say its unusually quiet.

On Wednesday, we had a relaxing "beach day".  What did we do?  nothing, but relax and swim.

And here's a shot of Bob's boat, Ma Cheri

Today - storms are/were predicted, so we are catching up on the more mundane! - email, laundry, some provisioning.  It should clear this afternoon and if so, it will be back to the beach.
